When they opened back up classes got cut by 50% but price stays the same. I talked to the owner Brandon about canceling my membership because I only go for the classes and what's the point paying full price for half of the amenities. Nope, I have to pay the rest of my 2020 membership through December. There's also been rumor that Brandon never closed the gym and that's how he justifies still charging his members. Honestly the place is barely clean enough as it is and I would give -10 to the place if I could. Save yourself the $30 a month and a headache.

Unfortunately the young lady running the event did not have pickleball experience. Placing a number 1 or 2 behind each score sheet would let players know who would serve first not playing rock, paper scissors. I felt bad for guys who travelled the first day to play two games and be sent home. The second day was run much smoother under different rules. Everyone played more games. All in all still a fun place to play. Genesis you need to have chairs in your front lobby that don't look like you got them from a second hand store. Plenty of parking. Bathrooms kept clean.

Doesn't need floaties though if he gets near dad he like suction cups to me. During open swim some of the parents simply drop their kids off while they go work out I assume. The life guards tend to be younger maybe high school so not super assertive. Sometimes you get rough play, but not often. They have two slides one for little kids, and one for larger. Great place for lessons! I go with a friend when my son's in school to workout. I feel the gym to be very clean, and properly maintained. Polite members and staff. Hot tub is great! Thankful for the facility!

Worst gym experience I've had in a long time. Was visiting town so called asking if they had kettle…read morebells; they responded saying they had a whole set. So wanting to get a good KB workout in, I go pay my $10 daily pass fee and go find their THREE kettle bells, up to 30 lbs... I immediately go back to the counter wanting a refund so I could go to a real gym(literally less than a minute) oh we can't give you a refund but we can give you a daily pass for later. After much frustration I try to workout there and started doing some cleans. After a couple drops of the bar(which were bumper weights and on a pad) the manager come over and asks not to drop the weights because they'll break. If you're really looking for a gym to lift and get a good workout, do not go to the SW YMCA in Topeka!!!
